Robbie taking a page straight out of the Wenger playbook. "I didn't really hear it at the time"
Right.As I said earlier it comes down to money and Troopz is the big draw and brings in the cash for Robbie, whereas Claude is just a background character he’s expendable.
Whenever Arsenal lose, AFTV is usually trending and it's mostly opposition fans talking about how much they can't wait to the videos tonight - I think that tells you all about how real Arsenal fans feel about the channel.
Yeah I always liked Claude.Robbie taking a page straight out of the Wenger playbook. "I didn't really hear it at the time"
Shame it had to be Claude, though. Probably the one out of the bunch I was most sympathetic towards, before this indicent.
Not really sure about that, his 'feud' with Ty is a big part of that channel, so much so they created a 'Claude and Ty show'.
It wouldn't work the other way round. I've seen it on twitter too, white people are desperately trying to be offended by what Troopz said. Troopz is basically implying Kane receives preferential treatment because he's white. In what way is that racist? Can someone explain it to me?
What on Earth are you talking about? How is it not racist? He’s saying Kane didn’t get a yellow because of the colour of his skin .
I mean it is racist technically and I really don't think he should be saying that (mainly because it's also bollocks) but you're not going to get white people up in arms about it. And those who are, are usually pretending to create some false equivalency. Still, it's a very silly comment that surely doesn't help things.
I'm asking for you to explain how it's racist as I genuinely don't understand how it is.
That was the way I saw it. I think what Troopz said is nonsense and he shouldn't have said it, but there's definitely a certain type of person on social media who's jumping on it as a response to the recent BLM movement.
What don’t you understand? He said that a player didn’t get booked because of the colour of his skin?
True. But accusing referees of being racist isn't a racist in itself.
So you can't actually explain how it's racist, can you?
Mate, Claude is as much a pundit as I am a cute 2 year old Hungarian babyThe thing I find the weirdest is that some reports refer to Claude as a PUNDIT
Ranting, raving twat.It's positive discrimination which is discrimination nonetheless. I think it was a racist comment, and Troopz was just trying to ride the BLM wave to say nonsensical things about the opposition and officials.
I just did explain it but it doesn’t really need explaining.
That guy has history of horrible race-related remarks too. Called Burnley ‘white lives matter’, before thankfully being told off by Robbie and DT. How is a whole club racist from one guy’s actions?
You didn't explain it, you just repeated your original comment twice more.
Why bring race and suggestions of white supremacy into it though? Talk about his England captaincy or something, not his bloody colour.
I do. However most of "racist" things get blown way out of proportion such as this comment about Kane. I mean seriously, since I am white, am I supposed ti be offended by what Troopz said...?
The racist comment is the one made by Claude - lets not get away from that. Too often in these instances we get whataboutery and we end up moving away from the real issues that people from that part of society are facing. I'm not having a go at you btw, it's just a trend I've noticed online a lot recently and needs to be called out on.
They originally defended Claude, until one of their sponsors withdrew. Robbie's decision has nothing to do with morals, it was purely financial.
I don’t get it. Both are racist comments surely?
Interesting. I thought everyone watching wanted to listen to crap and silly comments. Like what sponsor stand behind them and gets offended by that?
This discussion is best had removing Troopz from the equation.
It’s a racist mindset to be had for sure. If I thought someone didn’t get a yellow card because they’re black I’d want to have a serious word with myself.
Agree with your sentiment.
If you want to be the guy telling non-whites that their opinion that pro-white bias in society exists is part of them having a "racist mindset", you go for it.
Troopz is saying that Harry Kane got the decision because he’s white and to some people this is considered as the superior race. Whilst it’s IMO a very stupid thing to say in this instance and if I was Robbie I'd encouraging him to stay away from any of those kind of comments , there are undoubtedly scenarios in the world where this does apply and is part of racial injustice which many people face and which people are protesting about.
